There has been a month hiatus since the last meetup, but hopefully having a meetup will help people get over the BronyCon post-con blues.

The next meetup will be held on the 21st of September at the The Johnston Arms. However, this time around, the pre-meetup will start around 11:15 AM at Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station. Then, at 11:45 we will head over to The Johnston Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street), hopefully getting to the pub for 12 PM.

The reason the start time has been changed is that it will give people more time at The Johnston Arms, as our meetups there have felt shorter than the ones we had at our old venue.

The Johnston Arms has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, such as TSSSF and MLP CCG. If Pen and Paper RPGs are more of your thing, we will most likely be running a game of Tails of Equestria at the meetup if we have the time too.

If playing table top games is not your thing, there will be plenty of people who you can just hang out with and socialise. If the group wants to and the weather is good outside, we can decide to have the meetup in the large beer garden out the back.

This will be the last meetup before BronyCon, as I doubt that I'll have the time for planning a meetup that month, or (like a lot of people going to BronyCon) the funds to go to a meetup. Like the previous meetup, we will be holding it at The Johnson Arms.

The meetup will start at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:00 PM. Then at 12:30 we will head over to The Johnson Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 1 PM.

The Johnson Arms has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, such as TSSSF and MLP CCG. If Pen and Paper RPGs are more of your thing, we will most likely be running a game of Tails of Equestria at the meetup, if we have the time to.

The voting for the next two meetups is now closed. The date of the June meetup is Saturday the 15th. Like the last meetup, we will be holding it at The Johnson Arms.

Meetup Details

The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Bronies meetup date is now closed. The date for the next meetup is the 27th of April, however the plan for the meetup has now changed. We are now starting the meetup at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:00 PM.

Then we will head over to The Johnston Arms at 12:30 via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 1 PM. An all day ticket for the tram costs £4.00 for a adult and £3.10 for a student.

Route to The Johnson Arms from Meetup Start Point

The Reason for April's change of venue and meetup starting point.

To cut a long story short, after the feedback from the last meetup's attendees about the problems of the venue (Castle Pub), I tried and book the Lloyds No.1 Bar and the Cafe Sobar as they was included in the group's favourites for a new regular meetup place.

However while trying to book them I found out that both Lloyds No.1 Bar and the Cafe Sobar no longer do group bookings for weekends, because they can never know how busy there are going to be on a Saturday and Sunday.

So means there is a total of three places in the centre of Nottingham that no longer allow weekend bookings. Because of this I started doing research for venues further afield.

After talking to other meetup members The Johnston Arms has come up in conversations, but I haven't considered it before because in wasn't in the city centre, however that means that it's going to be less busy.

The voting for the new venue of the March Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and has been booked. The meetup starts at 12 pm in The Arboretum Cafe, then after 35 minutes we will head over to The Castle Pub and Function Room, where we have a table booked for between 1 PM to 6 pm.

Because we are holding the meetup at a new venue there is a few things to note:

1) Due to the expected numbers coming to the meetup, the owner of the The Castle Pub has requested that people order food in advance from the menu provided below. If you plan on having food at the pub, please use the form on this event page to order food.

2) If for whatever reason that the The Arboretum Cafe is busy, wait near the entrance of the The Arboretum.

3) The Castle Pub and Function Room is about five minutes away from forbidden planet. We will be passing by it on the way to the The Castle Pub, however I suggest going to the pub first unless you know the route from forbidden planet to the The Castle Pub.

As we no longer have the booking at the Orange Tree due to cancellation by the company that now owns them (See This Blog Post), we have decided to change the venue and still have the meetup. PLEASE tell us via Discord, Telegram or Facebook if you are planning on coming and did not vote on the original poll for the date of meetup, as this is how I will be working out if we have everyone.

Prices for Adventure Golf can be found here at here. It's also worth noting that there is a 2£ deposit for the lockers, so make sure to bring some cash.

The new plan for this weekend is for us to meet up outside the entrance to The Lost City Adventure Golf at archway for 15 minutes at 12p m. After 15 minutes there will hopefully be enough people around for anyone turning up late to find our group, while I go and ask the staff of Adventure Golf if we can sit down at the venue's bar until 1 pm or we have everyone we know about.

If we are not allowed to wait in the venue's bar we will wait at the bottom of the steps to theAdventure Golf until we have everyone.

After Adventure Golf, depending on how people feel, we could have an ad hoc meal at a restaurant/pub, or just hang around the venue's bar.

If you have any questions about the updated plans, please don't be afraid to ask.

The plan for the February meetup is to hang around The Orange Tree pub, on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham, and catch up with members.

We have the conference room (the one at the back of the pub with the big table in the middle) booked for 12 PM to 6 PM as it has adequate table space for people who enjoy playing card and table top games. For example, we have regular games of TSSSF (Twilight's Super Secret Shipfic), MLP CCG, and Tails of Equestria (a Pen and Paper RPG) at the meetup.

It is also close to the Victoria Shopping Centre so if anyone wants to do some shopping during the meet, you won't have far to go

This is going to be the last meetup before the UK Pony Convention Pre/After meetups in October. Because we will be of running pre/after meetups, we will not be running a normal meetup that month.

This will be the first meetup since the 5 Year Anniversary, so this will be slower compared to the said Anniversary meetup.

The Location

In celebration of 6 years since this group's inception, this month's meetup will be a bit more special. We'll begin the meetup at 12:00 at the COSMO buffet in Nottingham to have lunch until 13:45 or when everyone has finished eating and paid for their meal.

Afterwards, we will be migrating to The Orange Tree,where we have a table booked between 2 pm and 3:25 pm to sit and relax for a bit before heading off to Quasar Elite.

We aiming to arrive at Quasar for 15:50, as we have booked 2 games of Laser Quest at 16:00.

We do recommend that you don't go crazy with how much you eat at the buffet if you are planing on attending the Laser Quest games, as we do not want anyone falling ill during the games. If you haven't been to a buffet before, while it is tempting to try as much food as possible, we encourage you to eat responsibly. This is another reason that we are planning to move to The Orange Tree for a bit before Laser Quest is to give the meal time to settle.

Quasar Elite Nottingham

The Orange Tree

For this month's meet up, we have booked a space at the The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham so we can just relax and catch up with members. As the 5 Year Anniversary is coming up in two months, and this is the first meetup after Griffish Isles,there will be plenty to talk about.

The Disco Room which we usually use was not available for booking on this date, so instead we will be holding our meet up in the side room to the left of the front doors. It shouldn't be too hard to find us, Just look for a bunch of horse nerds with pony plushies.

The Orange Tree has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, so people can play TSSSF and MLP CCG at the meetup.

It is also close to the Victoria Shopping Centre, so if anyone wants to do some shopping during the meet, you won't have far to go.

The plan for this month’s Trottinghamshire Brony meet-up is to go to The Arboretum. We are going to start the meetup at the The Arboretum, at 12:00 PM on the May 6th. This will be weather permeating, and if the is going weather is bad, we will start at The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham Instead.

Because this meetup depends on the weather, we will know more closer to the date, and I'll be sure to keep people up to date on Discord, Telegram, and Facebook if we are moving the starting location the date before.

Round about 3 pm we will head over to the The Orange Treefor drinks and/or food, and a game of TSSSF.

This month’s Trottinghamshire Brony meet-up is hosted at The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham at 12:00 PM on the March 31th.

This time round the we are going to use the Disco Room, as we aim to show episodes of the new season of MLP. We can't stream episodes, as the room has poor wifi and we would have to book it for after 6 pm and we would have to cost us money to do so. So instead we are going ask to The Orange Tree if it's OK show some digital downloads of the episodes that have been already out.

The Disco Room also has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, so people can still play TSSSF, Tails of Equestria and MLP CCG at the meetup. The Orange Tree is also close to the Victoria Shopping Centre, so if anyone wants to do some shopping during the meet, you won't have far to look.

Raw Poll Results

Update 2: I talked to the Orange Tree again. It turns out that Disco Room is booked for after the 7:30 pm. So I have now booked it for between 12 pm and 6 pm.

Update: Due to both rooms already being booked for this date, we will instead be getting a couple of regular tables in the main area of the bar.

The Orange Tree has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, so people can play TSSSF and MLP CCG at the meetup. We have been known to play one shot campaigns of Tails of Equestria (a pen and paper RPG), when people have been interested in playing a game.

However, this meetup isn't just about playing games. If all you want to do is catching up with people, that is fine too. Plenty of Bronies just come to these meetups to socialise with other Bronies.
